Objective: To assess the real-world clinical treatment outcomes with brodalumab in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in Greece.

Materials And Methods: This was a longitudinal, retrospective, real-world analysis of data from medical records of 106 patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis, treated with brodalumab for up to 24 months at four University Dermatology Centers in Greece. Efficacy assessments of psoriasis severity [Psoriasis Area and Severity Index (PASI) and Body Surface Area affected (BSA) scores] and its impact on patients' quality of life (QoL) [Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) score] were evaluated at different timepoints up to 24 months.

Results: Treatment with brodalumab reduced both mean PASI (14.0-1.5,  < .001) and BSA scores (21.6-2.5,  < .001) across all visits. This effect was accompanied by reduction in mean DLQI score (12.8-2.1,  < .001) across all visits compared with baseline. Moreover, therapeutic efficacy was affected by prior biologic treatment exposure, as biologic naïve patients had greater reductions in all scores from baseline following treatment with brodalumab (numerical for mean PASI, significant for mean BSA and DLQI scores).

Conclusion: Brodalumab is effective long term, improving disease severity and health-related QoL in patients with moderate-to-severe plaque psoriasis in a real-world setting.

Objectives: To assess the efficacy and safety of an intra-articular (IA) CLK/DYRK inhibitor, lorecivivint (LOR), for the treatment of moderate to severe symptomatic knee osteoarthritis (OA).

Methods: This was a Phase 3, 28-week, multicentre, double-blind, placebo-controlled study evaluating the efficacy and safety of a single IA injection of LOR. Patients with ACR-defined knee OA, Kellgren-Lawrence (KL) grades 2-3, and pain Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) ≥4 and ≤8 in the target knee were randomised (1:1) to receive LOR 0.

Pump-controlled retrograde trial off extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.

Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning strategies are not standardized. When dealing with patients with complex physiologies and borderline haemodynamics, it is prudent to have a fail-safe method of approaching decannulation from extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. Standardizing the extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning strategy with a pump-controlled retrograde trial off protocol seems a feasible alternative to traditional venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation weaning approaches.

Background: Tear trough deformities are indicative of aging, progressively manifesting as pronounced infraorbital hollows. Although hyaluronic acid (HA) dermal fillers are favored for their safety and efficacy, quantifiable evidence of their effect of action still remains insufficient.

Aims: To investigate the efficacy of non-cross-linked HA compound in tear trough enhancement.
